CARING FOR SMALL PETS
Small animals like rabbits, guinea pigs, and hamsters can be great companions, especially for families looking for a pet with less responsibility than a dog or cat. However, they still require daily care, companionship, and attention. Outdoor pets like rabbits and guinea pigs need consistent care regardless of the weather. Ensuring your family is prepared for the commitment is essential. Contact us for expert advice and guidance if you're considering a small pet.
PLANNING FOR PET INSURANCE
Pet insurance helps cover unexpected veterinary costs, but premiums vary based on breed and potential health risks. Some pets, including certain dog breeds, may have higher insurance costs due to hereditary conditions. Cats, often prone to road accidents and age-related illnesses, also benefit from coverage. Researching insurance options before choosing a pet can help prevent financial strain. For guidance on selecting the right policy, speak to our team.
BUDGETING WITH PET CARE PLANS
Our pet care plans help manage routine veterinary expenses for dogs, cats, and rabbits. With a fixed monthly fee, paid annually or by monthly Direct Debit, you can spread the cost of vaccinations, parasite treatments, and health checks. Additional benefits include 6-monthly health checks, an annual blood and urine screen, microchipping, and a 10% discount on all other treatments and purchases. Monthly fees vary by pet size, starting at £17 for cats and £20 for small dogs. Contact us to learn more or to sign up quickly.
EMERGENCY VETERINARY CARE
Immediate action is crucial in emergencies such as accidents, seizures, or severe illness. Call us right away to ensure timely treatment. While we strive to have a vet or nurse available during opening hours, prior notice helps us prepare. Our night-time emergency service in East Molesey is available. If an emergency occurs after hours, Stay calm, and let us provide your pet's urgent care.
RECOGNISING ILLNESS IN PETS
Early detection of illness can prevent serious health issues. Signs such as appetite loss, behaviour changes, vomiting, or difficulty moving may indicate a problem. If you notice any concerning symptoms, contact our surgeon. Unsure if a vet visit is needed? Speak to our receptionist or a nurse for advice. We're here to help ensure your pet gets the necessary care at the right time.
DEALING WITH FLEAS
Fleas cause severe itching, irritation, and potential skin infections in pets. These parasites multiply quickly, infesting not just your pet but your home. Effective flea treatment requires consistent use of preventative products and, in severe cases, household treatments. One dose won't eliminate the problem, so continued treatment is essential. We stock recommended flea control products—visit our waiting room shop for expert advice and solutions.
KEEPING PETS PROTECTED FROM WORMS
Worms such as roundworms, tapeworms, and hookworms can affect pets and pose health risks to humans. Regular deworming is essential for dogs and cats, with treatment frequency depending on the pet's lifestyle. Monthly lungworm prevention is recommended for dogs. Choosing the right deworming product can be confusing, so let our team advise you on the most optimal option for your pet's health and safety.
PREVENTING LUNGWORM IN DOGS
Lungworm is a serious condition that can be fatal if undiagnosed. It spreads through infected slugs and snails and can be challenging to detect due to vague symptoms. Regular preventative treatment is crucial, including monthly worm tablets or spot-on treatments covering multiple parasites. If you're unsure about the most suitable lungworm prevention for your dog, our team can guide you on the safest and most effective options.
MANAGING DIGESTIVE UPSETS
Diarrhoea is a common issue in pets, often caused by dietary changes or consuming unsuitable food. Mild cases may resolve within hours, but veterinary attention is advised if accompanied by vomiting or lethargy. Feeding easily digestible food, such as boiled chicken or plain fish with rice, can help. Blood in the stool or persistent symptoms may indicate a more serious issue—contact our team for guidance on when to seek professional care.
We've been using Cobham Veterinary Centre for over 13 years and have only ever had the best 5* service. We've had everything from simple vaccinations to major medical emergencies and a few sad goodbyes, too, and everything has been handled with expert care, kindness and sensitivity. I simply cannot recommend them all highly enough. Thanks for everything you've done for our 'herd'!!
UNDERSTANDING BEHAVIOURAL ISSUES
Pet behaviour problems can stem from medical conditions, anxiety, or environmental factors. If your pet is displaying aggression, excessive barking, or unusual behaviours, a veterinary consultation can help rule out medical causes. In some cases, referral to a behaviourist may be necessary. We can assist with recommendations and ensure your pet receives the support it needs. Contact us for advice on managing behavioural challenges.
